Christ our Lord, King of the Universe (11/22/20)
Bishop's Letter Regarding Reconciliation (11/12/20)
Bishop Powers issued a letter on November 12th, authorizing priests to celebrate the third form of the Rite of Penance, known as general absolution. This special authorization is in response to the current pandemic. The celebration will be on Sunday, December 20th, at 4 p.m., at OLS. Keep in mind that any mortal sins forgiven in a Rite III form of Penance need to be confessed at the next possible opportunity for the “ordinary” Rite I form of Penance after the COVID pandemic is over. An excerpt of the letter follows. Please click the button below to view Bishop Powers' excerpt.
